<div class="cpoem1">
<p>When I see his wonderful choo-choo trains,<br/>
Which he daily builds with infinite pains,<br/>
Whose cars are a crazy and curious lot—<br/>
A doll, a picture, a pepper pot,<br/>
A hat, a pillow, a horse, a book,<br/>
A pote, a mintie, a button hook,<br/>
A bag of tobacco, a piece of string,<br/>
A pair of wubbas, a bodkin ring,<br/>
A deck of twos and a paper box,<br/>
A brush, a comb and a lot of blocks—<br/>
When I first gaze on his wonderful trains,<br/>
Which he daily builds with infinite pains,<br/>
I laugh, and I think to myself, "O gee!<br/>
Was ever a child as cute as he?"<br/>
<br/>
But when he's gone to his cozy nest,<br/>
From the toil of his strenuous day to rest,<br/>
And when I gaze on his trains once more,<br/>
Where they lie, abandoned, across the floor,<br/>
And when the terrible task I face<br/>
Of putting each "Pullman" back in its place,<br/>
I groan a little, and think, "O gee!<br/>
Was ever a child as mean as he?"<br/></p>
